IMPROVEMENT 'IN HAL-L'PENDANTS.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. I 84,506, dated November 21, 1876; application led J une 6, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PATRICK J. CLARK, of West Meriden, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and Improved Hall-Pendant, of which the following is a specification:

My invention consists of a hall-pendant with a ring to hold the shade, having supports allowing the shade to be turned or `swung to one side, in such manner that the lamp may be put in and taken out of the'cup which supports it with the chimney attached, and being provided with a fastening device, whereby the shade may be prevented from swinging when in use. y f

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of the ring, shade, and cup, and side elevation ofthe pendant and lamp illustrating my invention. Fig.

2 is a horizontal section taken on the line a' w of Fig. l.

A represents the ring, in which the shade E is supported by set-screws B, or other'approved means, the said ring being supported by pivots C and bearings D, or other equivalent means, in the pendant F, so that the shade may be readily swung to one side, to allow the lamp G to be put in and taken out of the cup H with the shade I on it, and a setscrew, J, fastens the ring, so that the shade can- I not swing when in use, thus making a pendant with a fixed shade that affords all the facilities'of one with a swinging shade for putting in and taking out the lamp. The snpports for the ring and the device for fastening it may be varied at will without departing from the spirit of my invention.

A Having thus described ymy invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The combination, with a hall-pendant, of

PATRICK J. CLARK.
